Project Enhancing AI through facial expression awareness

Abstract

Collaboration between AI agents and humans in everyday creative tasks is gradually becoming a routine. As a result, the interaction design between humans and AI agents in creative systems is playing an increasingly important role. Seeing a need for more effective and natural communication channels, this study addresses the question how implementing facial expression awareness in a co-creative AI chat agent influences the collaborative experience. To this end, we conduct a comparative user study with ten participants. In two separate ideation tasks, the participants explore the interaction with the text-based AI prototype, once with and once without facial expression awareness. We evaluate the collaborative experience based on the adjusted Creativity Support Index (CSI) and semi-structured interviews. Our results indicate an enhancement of the collaborative experience when interacting with a facial expression aware AI chat agent. Given our findings, we compiled insights for the design and implementation of facial expression aware AI agents.
